UHPC for maximum safety and performance

Today, UHPC concrete is used as a construction
material all over the world for maximum safety
and performance. One example of this are the
transport tubes for the Hyperloop system.
Tubular elements made of UHPC concrete have
already been manufactured here for test purposes. 

UHPC concrete is constantly evolving in terms
of its technical material properties and application.
We expect further big changes in our UHPC
material development in the next few years,
which go far beyond what we have so far. Many
materials such as standard concrete or standard
steel will no longer be able to follow this.

UHPC and color in architecture and design

We are repeatedly asked in which standard colors

we offer our UHPC material qualities and our
answer has always been the same for years:
We do not have any standard UHPC colors.

Why? There are millions of different colors
and color materials so why pick a few and ignore
the others.

Conversely, we would like to ask our customers:
What color or color effect do you want? Based
on the color specification of our customers, we
then develop a UHPC with this color specification.
 

UHPC can be used to create an infinite number

of surfaces or color structures that influence
natural or artificial light or paint. In the end, a
unique, special construction or design is created.

UHPC binders with their nanoparticles can also
have an interesting influence on the color particles
and their effects. There are also a wide variety of
pigment materials.

So why standard when you can have so much more?

Luxury high end HiFi loudspeaker cabinet made of UHPC concrete

During the development and production of UHPC
material for a special machine foundation, the
extremely good damping qualities of UHPC were
discussed.
This feature is also highly appreciated by developers
and producers of high end Hi-Fi speakers.

We sat down with some of these sound aesthetes
and talked about the use of UHPC concrete in the
speaker cabinet. The discussion ended with the fact
that we started the next day with the development
of an optimal UHPC concrete for high-end 
loudspeaker cabinets.

The first achieved damping values ​​were measured
with 0.027. UHPC concrete has a high density
(up to 2900 kg/m3). The water / cement value is
sometimes less than 0.2.

The compressive strength can be chosen between 

140 and 240 MPa. The modulus of elasticity is

for the most of our UHPC products 70-80 GPa.
With UHPC Cast Binder you can cast extremely 

accurate. Only the quality of the form here limits.

With UHPC Cast we were able to offer the Hi-Fi 
and housing designer the possibility to choose any
structure and geometry. In addition, UHPC concrete
loudspeaker cabinets are shockproof and waterproof.

The UHPC showed in tests as far as we heard have
no resonance. We hope for more interests, because this
work was a lot of fun for us.

As we have heard, some Hi-Fi enthusiasts have now
made the first vinyl player for venyl records from
UHPC and are thrilled with the end results in design
and in the audio / sound result.
